An audio plug detection structure is disclosed, which is adapted for an audio jack corresponding to an audio plug and includes a first and second connection points, a time-varying signal generation circuit, and a comparison circuit. The time-varying signal generation and comparison circuits are connected to the first connection point. When the audio plug is inserted into the audio jack, the first connection point is connected to a first pole of the audio plug and the second connection point is connected to a second pole different from the first pole of the audio plug. Therefore, the time-varying signal generation circuit, the first connection point, an inner impedance circuit of the audio plug and the second connection plug form a loop. The comparison circuit outputs a determination signal indicating the audio plug is inserted by detecting a change of a time-varying signal generated by the time-varying signal generation circuit.
